So I want to get a DDR pad and game

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

i personally know that some people have lost a lot of weight (in a good way) through enjoying games like ddr

however, for it to have any effect you must be dedicated to the game and push yourself a couple hours a day from what i've heard

.. i still think you should go to the gym! mustering up self confidence i believe is the #1 step to changing your body

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

Duuuuude I was just coming to this forum to ask about those pads lol. Buddy of mine says that Stepmania.com and other random sources give it a thumbs up over the 7 months they've been out. The 9-panel one is also pretty cheap considering it's metal and nine-freakin'-panels. If you get it, tell us how good it us

Wayward Vagabound: Needs more ITGRebirth XD Also y u no haves Xioa's Original Touhou Pack? Shit was fun yo (Although Gpop makes great files and Lunatic Dance was a great pack all around. His Vocaloid one is also killer IMO)

oh man i forgot about itgrebirth haha. im not a fan of touhou music in general so i stayed away from it since i wouldnt enjoy it much even if the files were good.

yeah I'd be playing nothing but hard stuff at least a couple hours a day when getting home from work.

I'll go to the gym eventually, but right now it's just not going to work out for me. i want to do weightlifting but i lack strength and can barely (i.e. can't) handle my own bodyweight. even bodyweight squats are hard for me to do too many of... so I need to shed off some weight so I can move around a little lighter.

Chiming in here:

http://divinelegy.com/?portal=simfiles

- all Dance Dance Revolution packs under "Dance Dance Revolution"
- any pad pack that has been released by some sort of community member under "--Community Files--"

...go berserk. There's more than enough for you. Just stay away from things like SPEEDCORE/Tachyon/Disbalance packs, lol. You might be able to get away with the Pendulum packs, since they're all fully stepped -- however, the easy difficulty files for most of them are at least 9s, haha.

holy crappola

thanks halogen, haha

psychoangel: Arcade mod in what way? Like a bar?

I was considering getting a wooden board to go underneath the pad and then install a bar into it, but hm.

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

The arcade mod adds panels to the corners (on numpad: 7 9 1 3) so that you can feel your footing a bit better.

Wooden board underneath the pad and a bar installed is a good idea and is probably the most conventional way to do it.

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

Kinda adding to this, if I'm a super poor (100 bucks to spend max atm) would it be worth it to get one now, or just save up? I'm looking for basically the same thing OP is

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

Just don't go the way I did. I got the game ~2 weeks ago but in a combination of cheapness and bad research ended up with a $10 plastic pad that worked for about three songs before the up and down arrows started to go off-center.

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

Trust me the problem is either how hard you step, or just what floor level your on. I can play on my arcade cabinets so quietly that no one can hear it, and I can also make the whole house shake with them.

It all varies on your technique. I would recommend trying out these

I've heard nothing but good thinks, plus its super lightweight compared to other metal pads so it should be quieter.

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

Yeah, I pulled the trigger on the "ITGX" pad from the Precision Dance Pad website.

This one:

And you're right -- the noise is dependent on how I step. I practiced yesterday by just moving around the wooden floor. If I flat-foot, it's quite stompy and noisy. If I play on my toes it's pretty much silent. It might actually be better if I play on my toes because IMO it requires more exertion, which is the point!

Nice link Hologen

sigh....I was actually carious if my stuff was there. Alas, nope.

Wyde's here though he had great stuff back when. I might need to get back in there later and clean house.

Also Rebirth is amazing everyone needs that

I just got my cobalt flux hooked back up to my PC. Sadly, there is a bad lag and I can't use it on SM
